Our Dioceses

Diocese Directory

Dioceses and jurisdictions across our communion

Old Catholic Churches International is organized through dioceses and related jurisdictions that serve the spiritual well-being of the faithful in their care. This directory is intended to help you identify the bishop, vicar, or regional structure connected with a particular place or ministry.

Churches, communities, and religious orders serve within diocesan oversight, under the authority of the Presiding Bishop and the College of Bishops and Vicars.

Regional Oversight

Each diocese is led by a bishop or vicar general who provides ecclesial oversight, support, and direction for communities and clergy.

Geographic Coverage

Dioceses are arranged by states, regions, or broader jurisdictions so visitors can more easily locate the church structure serving their area.

A Wider Communion

Our dioceses and vicariates are part of a wider communion of churches, clergy, ministries, and communities serving across different local contexts.
